What Vanessa Bryant chose to wear on father's day speaks louder than words
(Image Source - Getty Images) Vanessa Bryant didn't need a caption this Father's Day. One glance at her Instagram Story, and the message was crystal clear. On her finger gleamed Kobe Bryant 's legendary $4 million 'apology ring,' an 8-carat purple diamond born from a stormy chapter in their lives. Nearly twenty years later, it's still there—shining, enduring, and silently honoring the love that outlived everything else. A silent symbol from 2003 that still dominates every special day Nearly twenty years back, Kobe Bryant subtly established a strong vibe in his marriage. In July 2003—only a few days after confessing to infidelity and dealing with sexual assault allegations—the Lakers icon ordered an 8-carat emerald-cut purple diamond from Rafinity, a jeweler in Santa Monica. Valued at about $4 million, the ring was delivered three days after the charges were made public, which led to it being dubbed the 'apology ring'. The ring made a public appearance not long ago, during Vanessa's trip to Disneyland. In an Instagram Story posted with her friend Ciara, Vanessa discreetly showcased the purple gem—its luxury standing out against the festive setting and grabbing immediate attention. Yet, it's more than just a glamorous piece; it symbolizes something profound: a deeply personal token of forgiveness, sacrifice, and lasting bond—even five years after Kobe's heartbreaking passing in 2020. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Found THIS Chat on Her Husband's Phone and Vanished Overnight medalmerit Learn More Undo Ever since, the ring has been a reliable staple. It's significant enough to be included in retrospectives of the most costly celebrity rings, listed next to icons such as Meghan Markle's ring and Beyoncé's stunning jewel. Naturally colored sources also highlight its rarity — a true 8-carat purple (or purplish-pink) diamond, appraised at about $4 million. Acquired in the midst of a crisis, the ring served as a message at that time—a call for forgiveness and a mark of unity. Kobe's remarks back then underscored that emotion — "You're my backbone…you're the strongest person I know," he expressed to Vanessa during a press conference while dealing with his legal challenges. Fast-forward to Father's Day in 2025, and Vanessa's choice to don it again—alongside her daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri—clearly indicates that Kobe's legacy, and their relationship, continue to thrive. This Father's Day, Vanessa Bryant chose not to share a quote or tribute—she let her ring speak for itself. That stunning 8-carat, $4-million purple diamond is more than just an heirloom; it embodies memories, forgiveness, and everlasting love. Also Read: Magic Johnson walked away with just $40 million and what he did next changed everything Whether in happy times or more serious ones, it serves as a sparkling reminder: for Vanessa, Kobe remains by her side, his essence captured in the ring she'll probably continue to wear.

CJ Gardner-Johnson says Eagles 'won't win a ring' without him in fiery Instagram Live moment
Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images CJ Gardner-Johnson is officially in his bold, unfiltered era. Just days after landing with the Houston Texans, the former Eagles safety went live on Instagram and casually dropped a jaw-dropping statement that has Philly fans spiraling. When a viewer tried to downplay his impact on the Eagles' success, CJ didn't just respond, he went full scorched earth. CJ Gardner-Johnson's IG Live gets spicy with bold claim about the Eagles The viral quote came during an impromptu IG Live session around June 14–15. A fan in the comments tried to clown him, saying something along the lines of 'You won't see another ring without Philly.' CJ, clearly not one to let things slide, took that and flipped it with a full-blown diss on his former team. 'The Eagles probably won't see a ring without me. Y'all saw what happened when I left. I'm popping now, I'm glad I'm in Texas.' CJ Gardner Johnson Says Eagles Will Not Win A Super Bowl Without Him!!!!! Yeah… he said that. Live. No notes. No PR filter, no press release, just raw vibes from a guy who believes he was the difference-maker in Philly's Super Bowl hopes. Fan comments triggered a passionate response about his departure It wasn't just trash talk, it sounded personal. CJ made it clear he feels like his presence in the Eagles' secondary was a game-changer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Since he left after the 2022 season, Philly hasn't exactly been dominant in the postseason and he knows it. 'Y'all saw what happened when I left,' he said. 'I'm popping now.' For CJ, the stats speak for themselves and so does his swagger. If there was any doubt that CJ Gardner-Johnson is loving his new life with the Texans, this quote erased it. 'I'm glad I'm in Texas,' he said proudly, making it clear he sees Houston as a better fit, a better opportunity, or maybe just a fresh start with fewer Philly critics in his comments. He's also stepping into a rising squad led by C.J. Stroud and DeMeco Ryans, so confidence might not be misplaced. Still, calling out your former Super Bowl team like that? Bold move. As expected, fans had opinions. Philly diehards didn't take it lightly, with some calling CJ 'delusional' or 'salty' about his short stint with the Eagles. Others, especially Texans fans, loved the energy. The NFL community couldn't agree whether he was speaking facts or just feeling himself a little too hard. But one thing's for sure: he got everyone talking. CJ Gardner-Johnson is already making noise before his first official snap in a Texans uniform. Whether or not his Eagles Super Bowl prediction ages well remains to be seen, but he's clearly betting big on himself and he's not afraid to let the whole league know it.

Ace movie OTT release date: How to watch Vijay Sethupathi's comedy thriller online
Arumuga Kumar's crime comedy 'Ace', starring Vijay Sethupathi and Rukmini Vasanth, is now available for streaming on Prime Video, just weeks after its theatrical release. The film hit cinemas on May 23 and made its OTT debut silently on June14. The announcement of the digital release came not from Prime Video's official channels but from Vijay Sethupathi himself. On Friday (June 13), the actor shared on his X profile, 'High stakes, Higher thrills! Watch #Ace streaming now on @Primevideoin! (sic)' along with a link to the film. As of now, 'Ace' is trending at number 3 in India on the platform, despite the lack of promotion. Typically, Tamil films take longer to arrive on digital platforms, but Ace is among the few that broke the trend. Interestingly, Prime Video has not posted about the film's arrival on either its Instagram or X handles. In Ace, Vijay plays Kannan, also known as Bolt, who dreams of starting a new life abroad but ends up entangled in dangerous affairs. Rukmini Vasanth stars as his lover, Rukku, while Yogi Babu plays Arivukarasa (Arivu). The supporting cast includes Babloo Prithiveeraj and Divya Pillai. Written, directed, and produced by Arumuga Kumar, the film struggled at the box office, earning less than ₹ 10 crore net across India. However, its performance on OTT suggests a second chance at finding its audience. For those who missed it in theatres, Ace is now just a click away.
